Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup butter, softened
- ½ cup monk fruit sweetener or other sweetener
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons sugar free raspberry jam
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and monkfruit sweetener until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- Gradually stir in the almond flour and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Shape the Cookies
- Divide the dough in half. Roll each portion between two sheets of parchment paper to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter (2–3 inches in diameter) to cut out cookies. For half of the cookies, cut out a smaller shape (such as a heart or circle) in the center to create the top layer.
- Carefully transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet to prevent breaking.
Assembly
- Spread about ½ teaspoon of raspberry jam onto the flat side of each whole cookie.
- Place a cookie with a cut-out on top, gently pressing down to create a sandwich.
- If desired, dust the cookies with a light sprinkling of powdered monkfruit sweetener for a festive touch.
- Eat and enjoy!
